For those who do not know, the resident doctors were protesting since November 27 against multiple delays in the NEET PG Counselling 2021.

Earlier this week, things had become ugly when the protesters had a face-off with the policemen near Safdarjung. An FIR was also lodged against the agitating doctors for rioting, causing obstruction in the duty of police personnel and damaging public property.
